Movie Reviews of Honey, I Shrunk the Kids

Movie Review: Good memories.
Summary: 4 Stars

Honey, I Shrunk the Kids starring Rick Moranis was a childhood favorite of mine. This family film is pretty creative and funny. Moranis is good at playing the smart but naive goofball. Great to watch with family and friends, enjoy!

Movie Review: A family classic.
Summary: 4 Stars

This is a good movie for preteens and /or a good movie to sit and enjoy with your children. I liked the story line, the visual effects and the sometimes corny humor.

Movie Review: Fun
Summary: 4 Stars

Fun to watch a show I loved as a kid. My daughters love the show too.

Movie Review: Suddenly the world just got a whole lot bigger.....
Summary: 3 Stars

Honey, I Shrunk The Kids doesn't exactly hold up, but it's still pretty fun. The special effects, which are the strongest elements in the film, are stunning to watch and they really help with the story (which is pretty weak at times). There are plenty of silly moments and some impressive sets and effects shots. The music is also good. However, there are two problems I have with this movie. One is that the kid characters are terribly dull. They was nothing distinctive or interesting about them. The other flaw I find in this movie is that the journeys that the kids take when they're tiny aren't very adventurous. I mean, the adventures aren't very imaginative. It's not really exciting to see this kids wandering around in the grass. It would have been better if they had taken a journey outside of the neighborhood.

Still, HISTK is fun, and it has some swell special effects. It's not a great movie, but it certainly isn't a bad one, either.

Grade: 5/10

Movie Review: Fun movie, bad DVD
Summary: 3 Stars

Although it's a bit dated, Honey I Shrunk the Kids is still a fun family movie.

However, I'm disappointed with the DVD edition. First, the video is "fullscreen" 4:3. There is no widescreen option for newer 16:9 displays. Second, the video quality is poor - you can see many video artifacts such as noise on the display. It looks like you're watching a VHS videotape.

Your kids probably won't care about the picture quality, but it might bug the parents if you're watching along.
